What Are The Complications Of Chlamydia Infections?

My first love, boyfriend just got treated for chlamydia yesterday.. And I know that I have it too. I discovered a tiny bit of white creamy discharge. I was suppose to get checked yesterday but the doctor was not at her office and I went to a a parenthood clinic so everything would be free. The assistance said the doctor will be in on Monday. I am worried if I wait longer to get treated, something worse will happen :/ is that true?

Hi
Thanks for asking
Based on your query my opinion is
1. Small amount of white discharge is normal
2. However if discharge is more/ thick/ greenish/ curdy white associated with itching then it points infection probably candidiasis/ trichomoniasis/ chlamydial infection.
3. Chlamydial infection can cause pelvic inflammatory disease besides causing discharge and infertility
4. Since your partner is infected you need to take necessary precautions.
5. You can get a PAP smear examination done to check for infection and start treatment based on the results.
Hope this helps
Regards
